What’s in your (camera) bag?
The most recent assignment at Digital Photography School is a little bit different this time around.

In my ventures to learn all about photography, I have been focused on light (pun intended) this past week, specifically, learning how to properly use available light and how to break the basic rules of using light in photography. Since my main educational means is just taking photos as much as I can and seeing what comes out and what doesn’t, time has not been on my side in learning the basics of recognizing when the light is right for shooting. I have gotten frustrated over the last several weeks numerous times when I have been out shooting hoping for great results only to be disappointed when I look at my photos later and most if not all are just not pleasing mostly due to lighting issues. Some are blurry because of not enough light and some have blown out highlights because of too much light. Others have bright spots or poor reflection from harsh light or don’t come out at all from using wrong settings (or when I am in a hurry to catch a fleeting opportunity I forgot entirely to change settings before pressing the shutter release). With this recent post from This Week in Photography and my participation in this assignment last week from Digital Photography School, I now have a better understanding of light as it pertains to making great photographs and why I have been very dissatisfied with the outcome of my photos.
